SIGGRAPH 07: IGS-190 inertial gyroscopic motion capture system gets showing after Brighton debut
Animazoo is demoing its new motion capture system at SIGGRAPH this week.IGS-190 replaces Animazoo's popular Gypsy Gyro 18 kit and, as we revealed just under a month ago, has been in development for over two years. The showing at this week's computer graphics show follows on from the technology's public debut at the Develop conference and expo two weeks ago and a period of beta testing.
Jo Hull, marketing director, commented: "Feedback from beta testing already shows that the new features and enhancements have been very well received. For Animazoo, the product launch marks a new phase for the company and has also been an ideal time to refresh our identity. A new logo and web site are also being unveiled this week."
Key improvements over the previous Gypsy system include improved global translation system for better accuracy and an additional sensor to gain greater nuance from mocap performances.
"The new system offers smoother, cleaner data with greater realtime functionality," said director of technology, Ali Kord. "It also accurately provides angle data straight from the sensors doing away with solving altogether."

"I don't believe the actual game itself was the cause of it. I don't believe they were acting out in any way or mimicking anything in a video game. I believe it was actual use of the game and whose turn it was," said Lansdowne Police Chief Daniel Kortan.
Well at least the police know what is what. Sad still.
I once broke my brothers nose cause he wouldent get out of the bath room.
damn that sucks big time. the kid must have some kind of mental problem.
That better be one hell of a game to stab your brother for it.
That kid doesn't know how to have patience. Though like Sand said, he might have a mental problem.
I wonder what game it was. Musta not been multiplayer. Dam those single player games.
^No, it had to be single player, read Steal's post.
The parents must be devastated...
at least he will be able to play game by himself from now on :P
killing his elder brother because of a videogame ... unbeliveable
I wouldn't even dare to hit my elder brother for any reason, damn he is my brother...
How sad someone can kill a person this close to him for such a reason...
If the kid was upset and simply acting on impulse he might shove or hit his brother, or try grabbing the controller away from him. But to get a steak knife and then stab him with it? That's seems similar to road rage.

The episode ended with Peter trying to console Alicia (see: awkward hugging), and her imagining one more scenario about Will's last call: "Alicia, I'm sorry. I want what we had. I want to be with you. And only you. Forever. Call me back, please." Man, the writers really know how to twist the knife. On Twitter, Robert and Michelle King said: "In the absence of facts, you have to create your conclusion -- which is what Alicia does."
More memorable lines from "The Last Call":
++ Diane: "I loved him."
Alicia: "I know."
Diane: "He loved you."
++ Alicia: "What are you gonna do?"
Kalinda: "I don't know."
Alicia: "It sounds like you do know."
++ Diane, after firing Bob Klepper as a client: "That felt good."
David Lee: "Turned me on."
++ Grace: "Mom, I just want you to be happy."
Alicia: "I will. I will eventually."
++ "It's really pretty awful, isn't it?" —Finn, to Alicia
I'm not sure we'll ever know why Will made that last phone call to Alicia. What do you think he wanted? She's clearly still in shock right now, so I'm curious how her stages of grief will play out over the rest of the season. I also wonder if Nelson Dubek's case against Peter will truly disappear. Tragedy can often have unintended consequences, so I'm curious to see how Will's death will affect Alicia and Kalinda's relationship. This could very well be a shift that brings them closer together.
What did you think of the episode? Did it give you the closure you needed from Will's shocking death? Where does Alicia go from here? Are you excited that Matthew Goode will be a series regular for the rest of the season? Sound off with all your thoughts in the comments.

($110) Bright red-ruby. Musky, rather exotic aromas of dark raspberry, blackberry, woodsmoke and spicy oak, complicated by a mineral pungency. Fat, sweet and lush, with deep flavors of dark berries and truffle. At once classically dry and pliant, with a fatter texture than most past releases of this wine. The finish features big, broad, dusty tannins; good building length; and a note of Rutherford dust.

The 2001 Proprietary Red Wine (a 9,000-case blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot) reveals a dark, saturated ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of black currants, forest floor, cedar, and tobacco leaf characteristics. Made in an elegant, medium-bodied, Bordeaux-like style with good fruit on the attack, but high tannin in the finish, it is best consumed between 2005-2012.

Adrian Phillips' versatility is key
Junior played corner in 2011 but has now settled in at safety for Longhorns
AUSTIN, Texas -- Duane Akina doesn't care about a five-tool player.
Laughs at them really.
What's five tools when you have someone like Adrian Phillips? He's a six-, maybe even seven-position player, according to Akina. The Texas safety is the Swiss Army knife with the extra saw blade and tweezers. Always at the ready and always with the right tool for the job no matter how big or small.
Texas found Phillips like it finds many of its defensive backs, playing quarterback in high school. And Phillips found that playing quarterback was what allowed him to understand all the positions he would have to play in college.
"When I was quarterback I just got used to learning different positions," the junior said. "I had to know where everybody was at on offense. So when I came here and started playing defense I did the same thing."
"Adrian Phillips has seen it, that a high school quarterback is taught concepts all through so he is used to making adjustments and he is used to understanding splits because he had to tell a receiver what they were running," Akina said. "What you don't know is that as a quarterback or an offensive player they are used to avoiding contact all the time and now you have to run through contact. It sounds real simple but it is not. They have to shift gears, throw their eyes, and run through contact."
No problem there. Phillips has 11 tackles in two games and is part of a secondary that has allowed just 155 passing yards per game. Last year Phillips had 43 tackles. Not at safety. At corner.
Then, without the benefit of spring practice due to injury, he was moved to safety.
"He is a real versatile and he is reliable," fellow safety Kenny Vaccaro said. "That is what you need as far as being a DB. You have to be reliable."
That reliability is what Akina is banking on. Because Phillips is able to not just play so many different positions, but also mentally understands what needs to be done at any given position at any given time in the game. That has allowed Akina to be more flexible with his secondary.

Texas also needs Phillips to be versatile because he is the backup at both corner spots if either Carrington Byndom or Quandre Diggs were to go down. Cornerback is where Phillips had five starts in 2011 before replacing departed senior Blake Gideon. And while Gideon may have been maligned for what he didn't do at times on the field, what he did for Phillips off the field was immeasurable.
"I learned confidence, and I learned how to lead from Blake," he said. "Blake was a great leader. He taught me everything that I needed to know. He knew anything about the defense. Any question that you had for him, he knew it. I just put that upon myself, saying that I want to do the same thing, and that's the role I'm taking on now."
The role has not come without obstacles. Phillips is not exactly loquacious. That might be because Vaccaro is the voice of the secondary, really the defense, and there is not much air left in the room when he is done. Still, Phillips understands he has to step up and help the defense to communicate more effectively and efficiently.
Until that happens Phillips will have to rely on all the other tools at his disposal.

Fair For All - University Tuition Fees
Good University education is a right for all hard working taxpaying citizens of this country regardless of social status, colour and background. Good quality university education is what this country is renowned for all over the world. It is highly valued respected, and sought after.
We as parents, guardians and of course current , and future university students, are concerned at what the impact of high and unfair university tuition fees might be on current and future generations. We feel the current level of charges is high enough, and indeed maybe too high for some, for there to be yet a further substantial increase in the level of fees.
We feel it is unfair that students do not pay university fees in other UK areas such as Scotland, while in England they do. We feel it is unfair to burden university graduates with repayments at times when mortgage deposits are at 10 to 14% and the cost of living is increasing. Many parents are supporting their sons/daughters in a way (and at an unprecedented level) they never have before; bridging the gap between fees due and loans awarded; food bills; fuel in external accommodation; text books; keeping cars on the road. Many parents also have more than one child at Uni at the same time or in close succession - meaning years in a financial support role rather than saving for a much needed pension themselves.
parents are eating into savings to keep their student children needs addressed which in the future will mean they too become a growing burden to society by having less savings; pensions. When, traditionally, children then grow to care for their parents, they will not be able to; as they will still be paying off loans and/or entering the housing market much much later meaning many may NOT have finished paying for their houses before they are due to retire. Talk about a domino catastrophe effect!!! We urge the Government to maintain a certain level of subsidy / contribution to universities so they are not forced into increasing their charges. We urge the government act now to either abolish university fees or at least maintain a cap at the current level.
We are concerned that these changes WILL affect a decision of many to go to University. This will lead to many more school leavers being out of work. With the continuing, unabated influx of Europeans to the mix, we are going to breed an angry and rebellious youth who have little/no prospect for the future because they cannot get onto the job ladder or the housing ladder. This in turn "may" well add to crime and drug issues. When will government; who we all appreciate have tough decisions to make, see beyond the end of their noses to the knock on effects of their choices? I believe, the same level of savings can be made by reducing benefits paid to non-nationals and to curbing the influx of foreigners to take up jobs much needed by our own youth and ever growing older population who cannot have the luxury of choice of retiring anymore.
We care for our country's education, we care for its future..

4 years ago Comments: Education of our young people is a right, and if they aspire to higher education (and the benefits this could bring to the nation for years to come), they should not have to weigh up the question of how big a debt they could sustain as a criteria for deciding on a university education. This is more of a deterrent, and may lead to ever-larger numbers of unskilled, uneducated and unemployed. Why on earth does the Government go on paying billions of pounds towards the BBC (which may well have had a use when the global map was vitrually pink al over, but those days have long gone), while at the same time depriving VITAL services of essential funding - the Armed Forces, education, policing, border security, etc. A university education for all who qualify - surely - is of more value to the nation than endless years of "Eastenders", "Dad's Army", "Doctor Who", etc.?:
(Mrs) Valerie Ashman, United Kingdom

The Government neads to get REAL with its priorities.

8 Things You Shouldn't Do Before Bed
By Care2
6. Read Engrossing Stories
Many of us have done this: you're reading a really interesting novel and you tell yourself, "Oh just one more page!" Suddenly, it's 2 AM and you have to be awake in four hours. Yep, reading a really interesting book, essay or novel before bed will make it difficult to get to sleep. Perhaps you can remedy it by finding the most boring thing imaginable to read?!
7. Cuddle With Your Pets
As a child, I always wanted to have my beloved pet chihuahua sleep in my (twin) bed. And then came the reality: it's amazing how much space a 6 pound creature can take up, and how grumpy chihuahuas can be when you disturb their slumber. The point is, sleeping with a pet in your bed can seriously disturb your sleep.
8. Have Serious Conversations
You've probably heard the phrase, "don't go to bed angry." And, as it turns out, it's totally accurate! Research has shown that sleeping directly after a fight or traumatic experience will effectively preserve your emotions until you awake. The human body is adverse to falling asleep in dangerous situations — it's a defense mechanism. Thus, you'll have a much harder time falling asleep after a big blowout. It's best to resolve conflicts before you hit the sack.

Gear Review
Caitlin Bumby
I've gone through two of these backpacks, and having paid full retail for both, it's still totally worth it. I don't think I'll ever have another backpack. The only thing that I would change about it is the water bottle holder on the side... I'm a total nalgene freak and I'm always worried my water bottle is going to slip out of the little pocket because it just doesn't go up the water bottle enough to really hold it in there.

Austin Bennett commits to OU
Three-star receiver chooses the Sooners over offers from Arkansas, others
NORMAN, Okla. -- Last month three-star athlete Austin Bennett (Manvel, Texas/Manvel) couldn't imagine a scenario in his recruitment in which Oklahoma would be in the picture.
That's how fast things can change in the recruiting world. Bennett was offered by OU last week. He told SoonerNation on Wednesday afternoon that he has verbally committed to the Sooners.
"We're all pretty excited right now," Bennett said. "When I told the coaches, they were pumped up, too. I really liked that because that tells me they wanted me. This feels like a big weight lifted off my back."
Bennett, who is 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, was one of several Manvel recruits who participated in OU's satellite camp last week in Houston.
The Sooners had already offered his teammate, wide receiver Kyrion Parker, and also ended up offering 2014 tight end Koda Martin.
Following an impressive camp performance, Bennett was offered.
"I hadn't really thought about OU as being an option until recently," Bennett said. "They started calling my coach, and I was able to talk with Coach [Jay] Norvell, and things started going really well.
"I wasn't stressed out or nervous at all last week. I knew I could perform and just had to do what I always do."
Bennett said after meeting the coaches he was confident the Sooners were going to be his choice. All that was needed to seal the deal was a visit to campus -- and that happened Wednesday.
Bennett was originally committed to Arkansas. However, after former coach Bobby Petrino was removed Bennett and his family decided it was best to explore all options again.
More from SoonerNation
Austin Bennett's commitment allows OU to narrow its focus in closing out the class of 2013, writes Brandon Chatmon. Blog
"It really was about the tradition and history of the football team," Bennett said. "There aren't many teams that can compare to OU. I love the offense they run and how family-oriented it feels here."
Bennett is the 11th commitment for OU's 2013 class and second wide receiver in the last two weeks. The Sooners picked up a verbal from three-star Jordan Smallwood (Jenks, Okla./Jenks) two weeks ago.
Bennett said he never thought he would get the chance to play for Oklahoma. But being on campus made everything feel real to him and helped him realize he was making the right decision.
"I didn't know what to expect being here," he said, "but it's a great small town. There aren't a lot of distractions. I know I'm going to love it here."

breakor Posts: 398My favorite way is to use chalk (instead of the silicone noted above) and only drive a short distance in a straight line. Turns would seem to improperly bias the wear pattern (i.e. scrub the marking at the edges), at least on the front tires. Doing this I have found my tires always wear very evenly.
konghh Posts: 20Read it somewhere and this is how I work out the minimum tire pressure (don't confuse with optimum tire pressure). Look at the side wall rating. Assuming the tires says something like 1000 kg at 50psi and the Trooper weight 2000kg. Then the a minimum tire pressure of 25 psi should hold a weight of 2000-kg (since 4 tires of 5opsi holds up 4000-kg). Then I work my way up from 25psi to get the optimum by other varies means. Almost without fail, the optimum pressure is higher than the 25psi but it would be comforting to know I am safe.
boxtrooper Posts: 843The liberal government of my state is changing the emissions testing to make it talk to the on board computers of the vehicles tested. I want to minimize the invasion of privacy.
I have a 1995.5 Trooper-S, what information can they collect about me?
How does that information change if I buy a 2002 Trooper? -
breakor Posts: 398I doubt any ecm stores information about you. That is all done by the DMV off your VIN number and in turn driver license number.
What ALL OBDIIs do is store any history of emission codes. This information can in turn be used by the smog checkers to fail you. Thus, if you have stringent smog checks, you will want to make sure you clear all your codes after you fix the problem and just before you go to get checked. -

konghh Posts: 20"40-42psi rear and 36-38 psi front"? I have Bridgestone AT 265/70R16 and with plain 30psi front and 35 psi rear, I can easily detect overinflation by means of excessive wear in the tread's middle within 7,000-km. I have to lowered it to 28 psi front and 30 psi rear to get a more even wear and more comfortable ride. Guess our rear sensor gives different reading
troop2shos Posts: 235What I do in my SHO's is to depress the brake pedal for about 30 seconds to drain the brain after the battery cable is disconnected.
Not sure about the procedure for the Troop., but to correctly set the idle on my Gen III SHO, I have to let the idle settle down while in Park when first started (learn for 20 secs or so), then shift it to Drive & let it learn again, then turn the A/C on to Max while still in Drive & let it learn once more, then shift it back to Park w/ the A/C still on.......only takes a few minutes.
Then I drive the car like I stole it if I need to extract maximum performance....at least until my wife drives it & retrains.... -
lawdawgfl Posts: 75A friend of mine bought a car from Hertz Car Sales; the salesman told him that the cars kept track of the top speed. The Expedition he was driving for example had only been up to 100mph. A car rental company in up north charged a man a fine every time his rental car went over the posted speed limit. That car was equipped with a GPS though. (the man sued a won)
sbcooke Posts: 2,297I think it may be in the gauge too. My Bridgestone 265's seem too low at anything below 34 psi. Consistent is important. 28-30 psi sounds too low though. It might be worth spending $3 on a new gauge to see if it is accurate? I guess if you are getting even tire wear, then it probably is the right amount.

boxtrooper Posts: 843I did 104 mph, pedal to the floor and it had power left but would go no faster, for a half hour once. We were on a long trip and a pesky Hundai with dope smokin dudes in it was following and checking us out enough to make my wife worried. So I figured, its a Hundai, it probably does not go very fast (this was years ago). They tried but could not keep up. It was the middle of the night and I was making good time so I kept on going till I changed roads.
tidester Posts: 10,109"An estimate of the maximum damages due to wear and tear caused by sustained speeding comes to 37 cents for a two-minute period at 80 mph."
That comes out to 12.4 cents per mile - which is less than half the per mile cost of owning and operating a standard vehicle. We would all save money by speeding? Hmmm...!

boxtrooper Posts: 843I installed the DirectHits and part of that procedure is the disconnect the battery for at least a half hour, I don't know how much memory was retained after a half hour if any, but the given reason for disconnecting the battery was to make the engine computer re train the timing to make full use of the DirectHits. It did idle strange for a while and then all was well.
sbcooke Posts: 2,297Got my tires all set, I am very happy that they are finally running smooth! I put my thule and fishing rack on this morning. Then tonight I wired up my CB Antenna. I haven't finished the CB itself, but adding the antenna will give me the incentive to hook it up now rather than later.
I also picked up a can of back rust proof spray paint. I try to spay paint rust spots underneath my truck each year. I am not sure how bad the surface rust is for the undercarriage (if at all), but this seems to keep it at a minimum. -

Down here, it's the middle of winter now but I'm sure it's mild by some standards in the US. 5degC when I left for work this morning, but fine and sunny anyway.

Editor's note: This letter was signed by the mayor and city manager of Galax, and the supervisors' chairmen and county administrators for Carroll and Grayson counties. The original letter of 491 words was reduced to meet the 350-word limit policy for letters to the editor.
Jennifer Patterson says the whole thing started when she felt moved to help people in the community who don't have enough food.
She says she felt $30 was a reasonable goal to fund a food box for a single family.
"I decided that I wanted to make sure someone had a nice meal," says Patterson. "For somebody who doesn't have groceries in their house, $30 is a lot."
So Patterson went to the "Galax Talk of the Town" Facebook page in early November and posted the following:
HILLSVILLE — Benjamin Kemp of Woodlawn, who was charged in the malicious wounding of a Fries man, waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Carroll County General District Court last Friday.
Kemp, 54, was arrested Oct. 4 after members of the Carroll County Sheriff's Department received a call reporting shots fired at the intersection of Sunnyside Road and Stable Inn Road, just south of the Town of Hillsville on U.S. 52.
WOODLAWN – The Carroll County Sheriff's Department is investigating a break-in and vandalism that occurred at Woodlawn School the night of Nov. 29 or early on the morning of Nov. 30.
Carroll Deputy Jake Worrell, who is investigating the case, said entry to the school was made by busting open a door leading to the cafeteria.
After official announcements earlier this year that Twin County Regional Hospital would get a new open MRI machine to complement its new CT scanner unveiled this summer, the device was shown to the public at an open house last Thursday night.
According to radiologist Dr. Jay Bolen, on hand along with Radiology Director David Payne to demonstrate how the new MRI images will look at and to answer questions, the machine will alleviate multiple problems inherent in older systems.
INDEPENDENCE –– There are certain things that come a little more easily to a team as experienced as the one Grayson County girls' basketball coach Tiny Funk will field this year
Practices can be a lot more efficient, what with everybody knowing what to expect. Big game jitters may not be as big an ordeal for a group of multi-sport athletes who have been in more than their fair share of them. Teaching certain concepts and tactics evolves into refining such things.
INDEPENDENCE –– In the past four years, the Grayson County boys' basketball program has produced five 1,000-point scorers. The Blue Devils' success this year may depend on how well they can do on the other end of the floor.
Though fielding a team that lacks in star power, eighth-year Grayson County head coach Lucas Austin likes what he sees from 11 kids who are similar in size, ability and toughness.
SALEM ––Grayson County opened up a 16-point lead in the middle two quarters and opened its 2014-15 girls' basketball season with a 55-44 win Wednesday at Glenvar.
The Blue Devils took an 11-9 lead into the second quarter and outscored the Highlanders a combined 30-16 in the second and third period to hold a 41-25 advantage entering the fourth quarter.
Once a Cavalier, always a Cavalier. At least that's the case with Carroll County's Eustacia Smith.
A standout attacker for coach Cindy Edwards' CCHS volleyball team, Smith inked recently to continue her career at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
FLOYD COUNTY –– There are a lot of positives to be found in playing Floyd County the first game of the year. The final score isn't commonly one of them.
Carroll County spent most of the third quarter erasing a five-point deficit, but the Buffaloes broke open a tie game with a 9-1 run to start the fourth period and pulled away to a 51-40 nondistrict girls' basketball win Wednesday. It was the season opener for both teams.

Twisted Treeline needs some loving from Riot. There have been innumerable threads opened up on this fact in both GD and the 3v3 forum. Sadly, Riot has not spared a single red post or a single mention in Champion Spotlights or any other promotional video for more than a few months, now. The more attention that we, as a community, bring to this sad issue, the sooner Riot might feel obligated to at least share some insight into their future plans for what I, and many others, consider to be a great part of this great game.
Bump because the word must get out.
Senior Member
i think an aura, like they did on crystal scar might help to fix some of the problems on TT. I dunno though...
There are lots of ways that Riot could update the map, that's for sure. Check out the Twisted Treeline forum for plenty of topics discussing different ideas. More importantly, though, the (large) part of the community that plays Twisted Treeline is looking for at least a notice, a word or two, *something* from Riot that indicates they have plans for the map aside from letting it and its community fade away.
Bumpity bump.
Bump, for great justice.
Bumping the whole night through.
I feel like riot count count below 10 =(

Twisted Treeline has been shelved, just like Magma Chamber. It'll never come out. Don't get your hopes up.

Honda's Civic Si is a car of dueling personalities. Drive with patience and a light right foot, and the Civic Si is as docile and pleasant as a base Civic. Attack the road and the Si responds with eagerness and energy in the engine, in the chassis, and in the steering. This split character is not a result of uncertainty or insecurity; the Civic Si is exactly the car that Honda set out to deliver, a daily driver that you can beat the snot out of on weekends, or a weekend backroad bomber that you can comfortably live with every day.
Having previously driven the 2011 Civic in standard and hybrid trims, I was delightfully surprised by the Si's lively, accurate, and well-weighted steering. Honda would be wise to transfer the Si's on-center responsiveness over to the standard Civic. Additionally, Honda's switch from the 2.0-liter to the 2.4-liter is a meaningful improvement. The larger engine spins with the same enthusiasm at full throttle but adds a dollop of torque to combat the previous Si's weed-whacker-like character. My only issue with the new (to the Si) powertrain is its gravelly demeanor at part throttle in the middle of the tach range. It's in those situations -- when you're driving quickly but hoping to avoid drawing attention to yourself -- that the Civic Si comes off as atypically crude.
At a relaxed pace, the Civic Si doesn't have the fun factor of a Volkswagen GTI and in harder driving it doesn't have the bite of a Mazdaspeed3. Either of those two would be a better car for the enthusiast who intends to track or modify their car. But if maturity and civility have a high standing on the shopping list, the Civic Si is the right car. It is the pocket rocket for those whose rational side overrules their passionate side.

in truth should not be a console at all, its a natural ability of the ship.
was absolutely dumb to make it a console, when all cloaking ships on klingon side have the power built into the ship.
Was one of those things that they just didnt need to go there, was not broke, didnt need to be "fixed"
Should of fixed the popup decloaker bug instead that has been around for 1 year.

Evolution Bounty Stirs GPL Concerns
Slashdot food? (214 comments)
As far as I can see it, this really is an internal debate. The complaints have been made, and resolutions are starting to take place, and THEN it ends up on Slashdot? Where's the BS filter gone? This is completely irrelevant for someone outside of the community to solve, and it's the community that will eventually resolve this. In addition, there are multiple discussions that have been mistaken for one here: The bounties are not directly involved with the copyright assignment debate at all.
Just leave it already. Seems that this passes pretty unseen amongst outsiders anyway.

With quick and decisive action, Cicero-North Syracuse wrestler Tom Peterson delivered a bit of sweet payback.
Peterson's closing-bout pin helped the Northstars beat archrival Liverpool 42-39 and, with that, the top spot during Saturday's Akley Memorial Duals at Oswego High School.
These same two teams had met exactly one month earlier, on Dec. 4. There, Liverpool, on its home mat, prevailed 46-33, and many of the same wrestlers would be on hand for the rematch.
In all, six teams were present at the Akley meet – C-NS and Liverpool, along with host Oswego, Homer, Syracuse's Institute of Technology Central and Oneida.
Through the first four rounds, both the Northstars and Warriors stayed unblemished. C-NS got a bit of a push from Homer, but still prevailed 48-35 as it got seven pins – from Peterson, Jerrett Norton (160 pounds), Sam Ruiz (170 pounds), Andres Anoceto (220 pounds), Jared West (285 pounds), Ray Sorenson (99 pounds) and Joe Copani (138 pounds).
From there, the matches were more lopsided, as the Northstars turned back ITC 56-21, doubled up Oneida 60-30 and toppled Oswego 60-21, consistently putting up the points as, on a parallel track, Liverpool was doing the same.
The Warriors opened by smashing ITC 69-15 and Oswego 57-18. Again, Homer provided a challenge, but Liverpool toppled the Trojans 46-29, and after a 66-19 conquest of Oneida, all was in place for the clash with C-NS.
They opened at 195 pounds, with Mark Williamson earning a forfeit, one or four that Liverpool would take on this day, meaning that C-NS had to make up for those lost points on the mat.
Big moments came at 220 and 285. Both matches went to overtime, and both times C-NS prevailed, Anoceto outlasting Ron Wilson 2-1 in double OT and West using a takedown in the first extra period to stop David Carnie 5-3.

Ok so I'm pretty crappy at doing this but I'm back now and determined to get this TR done!!
Firstly, as has become a bit of a tradition, here's out latest baby scan... only 8 weeks to go! I can't believe it's gone so quick! The nursery is all pretty much done too... the new blinds arrive tomorrow and then it's just little finishng touches! It's all so exciting! Also, my contract at work got extended. I was supposed to leave 29th September but have been extended until 31st May! This means I'm entitled to full maternity pay which is great! There's a chance it could be extended again and if it is I'll have to return to work full time for 1 month but that's not so bad! Anyway, enough of the baby talk! Back to the wedding!! After the father daughter dance we had a few slow songs played so everyone else could come up and join us I love this picture. This is my uncle and soon to be aunt...for the 8 years Paul and I have been together my uncle and Paul have always joked about how much they love eachother and that they are a secret couple and my uncle couldn't wait to get Paul on the dance floor with him! At my sisters wedding in 2008 they held hands in every photo! They are quite amusing when together. Our DJ then decided to teach us some dance moves to some very famous songs . It was a surprise and super fun! We had a little boogie to beat it, jailhouse rock, staying alive, vogue and several others. I'm actually watching our wedding video (again) as I type this and can't help but laugh at it...it was so much fun! This really helped loosen everyone up and get them into the swing of things! I've got some great video of the little girls too...I wish I could show you all!! I tried to upload it to FB but they took it off and said if I do it again my account will be deactivated! Ooops!! It's got Disney copyright so I don't know if I can upload it anywhere else?! There was no stopping anyone after this...there was always someone on the dance floor. All my worries about if people would actually get up and dance or not disappeared! After this we played a game called 'lasting impressions.' Which again was a big surprise. Steve asked Paul to pick 2 guys and 1 girl (so he picked the BM Sean and our 2 friends, Jay and Jo.) They each had to pick a number between 1 and a million and then act out that song. Jay was excellent, he's a great dancer and danced to 'cant touch this'. Jo was a good sport and danced to an Elvis song and poor Sean got the short straw and had to dance to Barbie Girl. Sean is not the best dancer, but it's incredibly funny watching him busting a move on the dance floor! To finish up they had a mash up of different songs to dance to before we got to vote for the winner (needless to say Sean won just for being so funny) They were all such good sports and really got into it! Here's some pics of Sean dancing...I hope they make you giggle as much as I do when I look at them!

Yep it looks like a baby now!! Feels like a baby too at 4lb 13oz! Cannot wait for baby to arrive now! I have to say I did next to nothing in the nursery! DH has done it all! I purchased everything but he's had to put it all together! Doesn't stop me taking the credit for it though! Oooo that's a good idea! I'll head over to youtube now and see if I can upload there! Thanks!

Ok...today is the day! Today I AM going to finish this TR!
I'm 37 weeks pregnant and feel like a ticking time bomb so have decided to get this finished before baby arrives and takes over my life! Sooo...after the dance off we just partied the evening away It was great fun and the dance floor was never empty. Admittedly there were a few times where I was the only person on the dance floor but I was having a fab time so who cares! We had an open bar (thanks to my dad ) but I didn't actually have anything to drink! I had a glass of champagne for the toasts and then a glass of water and that was it! I was far to busy having a great time to stop for a drink! At 6pm Steve announced that 'we had news from the magic kingdom' and in came Mickey and Minnie! Unfortunately some people had popped out to have a cigarette/get pjs for the little ones, so not everyone was there to see their arrival. I am so glad that I managed to keep it a secret though! I'm not great at keeping secrets at the best of times and this was a tough one to keep but I did it! (yay me! ) The kids faces were a picture! They were so excited! I love the fact that they whole heartedly believe that Minnie and Mickey are real and that they were there. To be honest though, I think everyone felt like that! At this point DH still had no idea that I had also gotten Donald Duck for him as a surprise (best surprise EVER!!) We had 15 minutes of dancing with Mickey and Minnie and then Mickey had a little 'chat' with the DJ. Steve said if Mickey really wanted to do that then they would need a song so he played duck tales. No one thought anything of it though and just carried on dancing away. When I realised what was happening I turned to DH and told him he could have his wedding present now. He looked a little confused but when he saw Donald his face absolutely lit up and he got a bit teary (I'm not sure if I mentioned before but Donald was also his Dads favourite character and he passed away the year before so it kind of had a double meaning for DH) Donald came straight over to him and shook his hand and gave me hug and then joined in on the dancing. Having all 3 characters was so worth every penny we spent (and the difficulty I had keeping it a secret too!) Mickey and Steve having a 'chat' just before Donald arrived Me telling DH he could have his wedding present now More dancing and then time for the cake cutting. This was my least favourite moment of the day! We had no idea what we were doing and no one helped! The characters tried desperately to mime what we needed to do and we eventually got there and ended up with the BIGGEST slice of wedding cake!! DH practically just cut the side off the bottom tier! The DJ then started saying about feeding cake to eachother which was something we really didn't want to do but didn't feel like we could get out of it so DH cut the slice of cake into smaller pieces and we got that over and done with! No cake in the face...I would of been so mad if DH had done that! We had some group photos taken before Minnie and Mickey had to leave and then hit the dance floor again with Donald for the cha cha slide and carwash! Everyone came down to join in which was great. My neice still talks about dancing with Donald and will not dance to the cha cha slide now if Donald isn't there too!! Here is my neice saying goodbye to Minnie...she didn't understand why they had to leave so that was a little sad but she soon got over it!

End of reception/Dessert Party
After Donald left we didn't have much time left before we'd have to get on the motor coach headed for our dessert party! The DJ got us all down on the dance floor for the last few songs. 'Hey Jude' is a big family favourite so he put that on and all my family gathered together on the dance floor, arms around eachother singing very badly and out of tune, in a big circle, then everyone else started to join in to. It was great and we got some great footage of it on the DVD!
Our final dance was 'Good Riddance (time of your life)' The DJ played Green Days version when we had originally asked for Glen Campbells. It didn't bother me but DH still mentions it whenever we watch the DVD! The DJ got everyone to make a big circle around us during this dance and as it reached the end our confetti cannons went off! Although they were expensive I think they were worth it. It was a great ending to the night and it looked great in the DVD! My poor neice heard the BANG a lot sooner than she saw the confetti and had no idea what had happened! It took a while for it to all get down to her level but when it did she loved it We didn't get any pictures of this part of the evening as our photographer was also a friend so he joined in! After this Carol and her team came in to clear everything up and packed everything away to take back to my room which was great as it was one less thing for me to worry about! I was going to pay someone to do it but they sorted it all out! We were then all taken to the BC entrance to board the motor coach that would be taking us to Epcot. It was a nice trip and took us all backstage at Epcot. We came in at the UK (near the red phonebox) and were led to lower lochside. It was really busy and lots of people were shouting out well wishes to us which was lovely The dessert party set up was beautiful. I just couldn't wait to eat as I hadn't had much at dinner!! this is me and my dad getting drinks...we didn't waste anytime...we were straight in there (this lady also went off to get DH a coke as he wasn't feeling very well...I thought that was really nice of her!) this is the only picture I have of the centre pieces at the DP! We gave everyone takeaway boxes as there was sooo much food I didn't want it to all go to waste and everyone really made use of them! I took a very full box to AKV with us as DH didn't eat much and I wanted him to try everything! We had about an hour to eat before the fireworks started which was plenty of time. Our BM went and got some chips as he hadn't eaten dinner at all as he was so nervous about his speech! People kept pointing at the guys and saying 'look! English getlemen!' The fireworks were great (as usual) and everyone said what a great ending to the night it was. We hardly watched them as our photographr was taking pictures of us the whole time but we've seen them so many times it didn't matter. When we boarded the motorcoach to go back to the BC I wasn't really sure what everyone else would want to do...I was planning on going to the bar but when we got dropped off everyone was so tired they all went to bed! So that's where we went too. DH had been poorly all day and had done so well hiding it, I think he was just happy to be going back to the room to relax! Well, that and he had planned a little surprise for me! I'm having trouble with photobucket so I'll have to try and upload the rest of the pictures for you later!!

Photobucket is finally going my way so here's the last of the pictures from the dessert party!
here's DH and I and my family waiting for the fireworks to start The fireworks really were amazing and it really was a great way to end the night. I am so glad that we did it! I'm so glad that we did everything we did as it just made our day so perfect and memorable! We just could not of had a day like it if we had chosen to get married in the UK. When we got back to the BC after the dessert party everyone headed back to their rooms as they were all shattered. I could of quite happily of carried on the celebrations but not on my own! DH and I went back to our room and as we got to the door he gave me the room key and I noticed some rose petals on the floor...my first inkling that there may of been some kind of surprise waiting on the other side! When I opened the door there were rose petals scattered along the floor into the bedroom and then a big heart on the bed with some mickey mouse chocolates and towels with our names on (I didn't take a picture of them but I did video this bit! I'll have to try and get the video uploaded!) In the kitchen/dining area there was a big vase of red roses and some candles with Mickey confetti scattered around the worktop and in the bathroom too. My favourite bit was the tinkerbell on the bedroom mirror with a little light on it! I've bought it home and it's currently on the mirror in the bedroom! There was also some lovely smellies for the bath (sitting in my bathroom as we speak, I haven't even unwrapped them!!) and to top it all off there was a signed picture from Minnie and Mickey wishing us congratulations! It was awesome and it was such a lovely surprise from DH!
